Now, if every browser handled that properly, it would be a good idea.
Last time I checked, certain browsers (*cough* IE *cough*) treated a 404
very ungracefully. Essentially, you couldn't really tell the difference
between a webserver that did not respond at all and a standard 404. That
is going to lead to a bunch of bug reports and irate users as well.
